A Parting word

The question that must be answered by

every individual is the following. How

sure am I, that I am truly following the

religion established by Christ, and notmerely one that has been foisted on me as

the religion of Christ by human agent?

What historical basis and certainty do I

have, to trust in the allegation of anypreacher to that effect?.
